Mediterrani, released in 2021, is Oniric Cat's third official work. This EP, under 20 minutes long, represents a shift towards a Chill-Out sound—luminous and evocative—directly inspired by the landscape, light, and tranquility of the Mediterranean. Its visual aesthetic is defined by the artist's blue hair, which blends with the sky and evokes the color of the sea, creating a clear, soft, and summery identity.
The EP captures the essence of a peaceful afternoon by the sea: a warm breeze, soft light on white facades, and a pervasive sense of relaxation. Its fresh, chill-out vibe invites both introspection and carefree enjoyment.
Pleasant Sunday is a play on words with the Spanish expression Domingo Plácido, translated into English in a poetic way. The song conveys exactly that: the calm of a sunny Sunday, unhurried and with a gently flowing rhythm.
White Houses by the Blue Sea is inspired by the small Mediterranean villages with white houses by the sea. This track seeks to evoke their streets, their light, and their tranquility. Towards the end, it includes a sample recorded on Barcelona beach, where the real sound of the waves blends with the electronic production to add an authentic and sensory touch.
Walking the Quantum Fog is a more atmospheric and expansive piece. Its name comes from a combination of two audience suggestions, which Oniric Cat combined to create an evocative and mysterious title. In this track, the flute takes center stage, performing a long solo that unfolds throughout the entire song, fusing the organic with the ethereal.
The title La Macarrona comes from a funny anecdote: when Oniric Cat showed the demo to a friend before its release, the rhythm instantly reminded him of La Macarena, leading to this playful name. Although it has no direct musical connection to the '90s classic, it maintains a rhythmic and carefree spirit.
